Movie reviews: The Paperboy
Welcome to the Punch (15A) combines the heft of a heavyweight with the pace and slick combinations of flyweight as it follows London police detective Max Lewinsky (James McEvoy) in his bid to bring down notorious gangster Jacob Sternwood (Mark Strong).
The pair, it’s fair to say, have previous: the movie opens with an extended prologue in which Lewinsky tries to single-handedly foil Sternwood’s bank robbery, only to get shot in the knee for his troubles.
